WickedTwin: Rising from Lynchburg, VA with Murda Genes in His DNA

In the vast world of Hip-Hop, where authenticity often separates fleeting fame from legendary status, Lynchburg, Virginia’s own WickedTwin is emerging as a voice from the streets. He brings an unapologetic and raw perspective to the game. Hailing from a city that sits four hours away from the buzz of D.C. and Charlotte, WickedTwin represents a music scene where many rappers get stuck in the “local” box. However, he is determined to break out and show the world that real talent can come from anywhere—even from a place where success in the rap game has “never been done before.”

WickedTwin Brings Lynchburg’s Sound to Hip-Hop

With a unique mix of DMV flavor and southern flow, WickedTwin’s style stands out. He carries the gritty and relentless energy of the streets, which he says comes from his own life experiences.

“Everything I do, nobody believes in it until it happens,” he says. “From the streets to the industry, my hood—we’re the smallest, but we make sure we’re known.”

His new track, “Murda Genes,” reflects this mentality. “I knew it was gon’ start some shidd,” he says with a smirk. And he wasn’t wrong. The hard-hitting track delivers something for everyone, whether you’re in the club twerking or throwing up your set. Beyond the hype, the song takes listeners deeper into WickedTwin’s world.

“It’s just me telling y’all real life,” he explains. “I’ve been surrounded by killas my whole life, so it’s in my genes.”

WickedTwin’s Hip-Hop Influences

WickedTwin draws inspiration from some of the rawest names in Hip-Hop. Fans often compare him to C-Murder because of his grimy and unpolished style that feels like it came straight from the block. His influences also include legends like DMX, Tupac, King Von, and DaRealGeeMoney, who shaped his perspective on life and music.

However, Soulja K from Jacksonville has made the biggest impact on his career.

“Soulja K my biggest inspiration. We turned a feature into being damn near best friends,” WickedTwin reveals.

He considers himself part of Soulja Lyfe Kampaign (SLK), even though the affiliation brings drama and conflict with rivals.

“The opps wanna make diss songs saying ‘game over’ and putting the Julio bottle on their head,” he says, referring to the ongoing back-and-forth with his adversaries.

“But me rappin’ and responding is motivation to speak up for the ones who are no longer here, and also tell my story.”

WickedTwin’s Story of Survival

WickedTwin’s journey represents survival against all odds. He faced tragedies that shaped his music, including losing his son to gun violence at just six years old. Now 26, he continues pushing forward despite those who doubted he would make it this far.

“Losing my son made me channel that anger and pain into music instead of what I really wanted to do,” he admits.

Music is more than a career for WickedTwin. It serves as his therapy and his way to express the struggles he has survived.

What Fans Should Know About WickedTwin

When asked what fans should know about him, WickedTwin keeps it real.

“I’m just a gang member tryna get to the top the only way I can. I’ll always remain humble and true to my morals,” he says.

With pride in his roots and loyalty to his set, WickedTwin represents his hood on his own terms. While the word “wicked” might confuse some people, he quickly explains the meaning behind his name.

“Wicked don’t mean anything demonic—it’s just another word for gangsta. Twin came from me being a Gemini.”

With “Murda Genes” making noise in the streets and his name reaching audiences beyond Lynchburg, WickedTwin continues building his movement. His music reflects the struggles he has faced and proves that no matter where you come from, the hustle speaks for itself.

Long live 6 and long live 8—WickedTwin is here, and he’s just getting started.
